A spark near the battery may cause a
battery explosion. To reduce the risk
of a spark near the battery:
Check the polarity of the battery posts. The POSITIVE (POS, P, +) battery
7.1
post usually has a larger diameter than the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) post.
Attach at least a 24-inch (61 cm) long 6-gauge (AWG) insulated battery cable
7.2
to the NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post.
Connect the POSITIVE (RED) charger clip to the POSITIVE (POS, P, +) post
7.3
of the battery.
Position yourself and the free end of the cable you previously attached to the
7.4
NEGATIVE (NEG, N, -) battery post as far away from the battery as possible
– then connect the NEGATIVE (BLACK) charger clip to the free end of the
cable.
Do not face the battery when making the final connection.
7.5
Connect the AC supply cord to the electrical outlet.
7.6
When disconnecting the charger, always do so in the reverse order of the
7.7
connecting procedure and break the first connection while as far away from
the battery as practical.
